You know it’s getting cold when you finally turn on the heat, but there are plenty of other ways to stay warm this season—especially on those nights when you’re cozied up on the sofa. One of the best ways to add warmth is through delicious meals and desserts. Comfort food is meant to keep us cozy and content, especially on those chilly evenings.

Whether you’re craving a quick late-night snack or a meal that requries minimal effort, these easy comfort food ideas will be in heavy rotation this fall.

Personal Pan Pizzas

With a crispy, golden brown crust, flavorful sauce, and a melted combination of cheeses topped with your favorite meats or veggies, this is a quick meal that will satisfy any foodie’s cravings. Enjoy this meal as a quick treat or a family dinner entree paired with a good movie and cuddle partner.

Using less than five ingredients, here’s what you’ll need:

• Pizza sauce
• Pizza dough
• Mozzarella cheese
• Toppings of your choice (pepperoni, banana peppers, sausage, onions, etc.)

Start with spreading your pizza dough to fit your desired flat sheet pan. Then, pour your pizza sauce on top and evenly spread across the pizza dough. Add more or less depending on how saucy you’d like your pizza to be. The same applies to cheese as well. Grab handfuls (or less) of the mozzarella cheese and spread it to your liking. Cover your pizza in toppings of choice and pop it in the oven for about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it to ensure it’s as crispy as you’d like.

Chili and Beans

To keep you warm and cozy, consider this chili and beans recipe that’ll have you wanting more. It’s the perfect meal for cold weather and a classic dish in the household during the fall season. Made with ground beef, beans, cheese, tomato sauce, and a blend of seasonings, it’ll be gone before you know it. Pair it with a slice of cornbread to complete the dish. Marry these ingredients together for the taste of the year.

• Ground beef
• Kidney beans
• Cheese
• Chopped onions and green peppers,
• Tomato sauce and tomato paste
• Seasonings (chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, garlic powder)

Brown your ground beef and add chopped (or precut) onions, tomatoes, and green peppers. Use your best judgment for the amount of tomato sauce you’ll add next. Boil your beans while you’re preparing your chili. Once done, add in your beans. Use seasonings such as onion and garlic powder, chili powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and more to create flavor—next, broth. Stir and let it simmer for up to 20 minutes. Taste the chili to make sure you have enough of each ingredient. Once served, sprinkle cheese on top, and you’re good to go.

Garlic Butter Steak Bites

One of our favorite meals to make is steak bites and potatoes. The juicy and tender steak bites will burst in flavor and keep the whole family happy. Mashed potatoes, rice, and broccoli are all sides that can be made to served with it. The choice is ultimately yours on what you decide to make it with.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Steak of your choice
• Olive oil
• Seasonings
• Butter
• Rosemary and garlic

Cut your steak into 1-inch cubes and then coat it with olive oil. Add your seasonings—salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add your seasoned bites to a skillet. Cooking time is dependent on your preference. Remove the steak from your skillet, add butter and diced onion, rosemary, and garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds to one minute. Lastly, add your steak bites to marinate in the garlic butter. Serve on mashed potatoes or with your desired green and additional side. Voila!

Cookies and Ice Cream

A delicious meal isn’t complete without a sweet treat. Cookies and ice cream are a classic dessert that satisfies any sweet tooth and is perfect for nights in. Warm, brown-butter chocolate chip cookies topped with your favorite ice cream will melt in your mouth. The warmth of the cookie and creamy ice cream meet for a clash in flavor and texture. Make it with friends or your partner. Whether you make them from scratch or grab a pack of cookies from your local grocery store, the taste won’t fade.

If you take the quicker route, the dessert will be done in less than 15 minutes. Follow the instructions on the label to ensure your cookies are perfectly soft, warm, and golden brown. Then, add a scoop (or two) of your favorite ice cream, served in a bowl. You’ll be saying “mhmmm” all night.
